when I first started to hear voices, I was a child. I paid it no mind- to me this was an extension of my imagination. my experience was personal and not at all intrusive.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as a young woman though, these voices started to intensify. traumatic experiences had left me fractured and fragmented. what I was hearing was a cacophony of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve seen an alarming amount of people listening to random voices in their head and just doing whatever they tell them. and believing it. believing whatever narrative 100% without question, without discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this is why I work with national paranoia network to deliver practices that help press pause on action and create more space in the uncomfortable in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

unfortunately if your voices are commanding you will have to learn to sit in discomfort, even against what you feel god or someone is willing you to do. you have to become stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

after working with these experiences now for 20 or so years, having been on medication, in therapy, to healers, on pilgrimages i have the space to say everyone\u2019s experience is different and that they all feel true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

working in the inner space is a skill: people practice this for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so don\u2019t believe everything you hear, but in case you are worried \u201cspirit\u201d rarely will ask you to do anything that directly or indirectly hurts another human. For example, sexual assault, murder, assault, theft, surveillance, monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this are lower actions for \u201clower beings\u201d (as Buddhist literature describes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there may be some exceptions but that is why it is vital to work directly and physically with teachers, healers, guides and psychologists who can help you to interpret your inner signalling without judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you\u2019ve been struggling and don\u2019t know the first steps to take, I suggest you go to the National Paranoia Network and sign up for their newsletter, to receive monthly practices from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think most of us know – ginny weasley made the same mistake out of loneliness. And I know as well that trusting these intrusions usually comes out of that. You feel like if you can appease them they\u2019ll stay. the connection feels special and you need that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

mine presented as commanding and as anxiety: all my fears were confirmed in chorus and they gossiped all night so that I couldn\u2019t sleep. meditation, rest and a lot of inner work helped me and it can help you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that is why I created all these activity books and written offers, because while I cannot be there in person, I get it. I have been there and these are the things that helped me get well again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
